a popular slogan of the arab spring which i call the arab spring for nato has been the fear has gone but perhaps the fear has gone by along with the fear so has any sense of security and nation building and state building so really can anyone control what's going on and this is this is rooted partly as well because of the trial against those who accused of being guilty author of the deaths at the football match so really it's also it's also you know openly said that nor can control anything in egypt are currently and by the way you can always check artie's twitter feed for the latest on what's going on in cairo bill true who's report we saw just a little earlier is also posting her own updates and still to come in the program alleged atrocities by the army in mali raise eyebrows at the u.n. and cast a shadow on what some see as the french leaders crusade a visit to the north african state. plus the justification of terrorism while

waging wars on terror russia's top diplomat hints that the inconsistency of the western protests could be behind the deadlock in syria's bloody standoff. america's forces in afghanistan may have been running on iranian oil in a clear violation of washington's own fuel embargo against the islamic state the pentagon has admitted it can't vouch for the source of years worth of fuel due to a complicated supply system he's going to check on picks up the story. the u.s. gives money to the afghan government to buy fuel for its forces now u.s. officials the special inspector general for afghanistan reconstruction say they cannot verify that the fuel purchased for afghan security forces in recent years did not come from iran it could be their way of saying that it most probably did for the wrong and it could mean that the u.s. has violated its own extinction by letting us taxpayer dollars go to even coffers those sanctions that the u.s. has put in place not only bar u.s.
11:06 am
companies from doing business with iran but also punish third party countries for doing business with iran but no matter how many rounds of sanctions are in effect they were never watertight even though the european union under a lot of pressure from washington stopped buying uranium oil you have a host of other countries that still do iran's biggest buyer now biggest buyers now are china india and japan and these countries are oil thirsty especially china so china imports of uranium oil india's imports of iranian crude were up thirty percent according to tanker arrival data western sanctions have you brains oil exports in two thousand and twelve leading to a very deep plunge in the arabian currency but continuous robust demand from its top buyers as well as the purchase of new tankers allow the red to unexpectedly boost exports late last year despite the sanctions the u.s.
11:07 am
can't absolutely force those major economies especially china to stop buying from iran political and economic ramifications of such pressure would be significant but the u.s. government is trying their prompting those other countries to buy oil from washington's allies saudis and katori so you can imagine how happy the gulf states are about this whole new business coming in but washington is resolute to put more pressure on other countries to put forward more threats like cutting them off from the u.s. banking system. so in many countries the situation starts to look more like blackmail than anything else i was regards to iran and blackmail is essentially what the u.s. calls diplomacy which by the way is not working but washington acts to hold not only ran hostage to sanctions but the whole world which is of course creating more tension. the sanctions violations and rhetoric surrounding iran are all proving great creative fuel for all web site cartoonists i'm a dentist i've done other fames are

11:09 am
however it was certainly not all sweetness and light from the russian foreign minister one of those questions that he said russia wanted to put to the western partners was how could the west justify their quest for regime change in certain countries while turning a blind eye to acts of terror this just one of many times he either alluded to or mentioned by name the conflict in syria it's all king about acts of terror committed by the opposition troops opposition forces within syria there against the the army against civilians now he also went on to ask the question of who decides which state is a candidate for regime change it seems that some are wary some aren't looking at the ongoing situation in syria where it's been deemed that bashar al assad. must step aside by foreign powers not once again reiterated today by the united states vice president joe biden in his address here in munich where is some states aren't

considered candidates thinking more here about the gulf monarchies where we've also seen protests in public uprising there of foreign minister lavrov spoke directly to those western powers when he talks about furthering international discussions saying that if well they kept their promises to speak to all sides in the syrian conflict that not conflict could well be over by now on these peter all of aaron foreign minister sergei lavrov was also met with the leader of syria's key opposition group for the first time after it was set up in november last year and we'll be bringing you more details on that as we get them. reports of extra judicial killings by the mali an army of escalated all the way to the un the blocks and genocide envoy says he's deeply concerned it claims by activists that the army which is largely backed by french troops is committing ethnic reprisal attacks and other atrocities this comes as far along does on

a visit to the north african country where his forces are fighting islamic radicals while there the french president announced the mission won't be long and will wrap up in several weeks transfer based journalist robert han ace believes that hollande is simply trying to score cheap political points with this trip he may regard this as a window of opportunity to present this as a great french excess which militarily technically tactically certainly looks like let's be honest but it's his opportunity because clearly in the background there is considerable american assistance there now british troops coming in there talking about eight thousand african troops it's not going to be further out i may say the french are very reluctant to approach the algerian front you know too closely because algeria and france as you know have a long history with. bitter civil war i think this may well be the last chance on house to claim a victory before it all becomes obviously an allied operation. britain is removing
11:12 am
the welcome sign from its doors as the government fears the flow of migrants into the country months the forty think that promoting the u.k. is a great destination may have gone a bit too far or has more as one official put it the negative ad campaign about britain would help to dispel the myth that the streets in the u.k. all paved with gold and the politicians certainly are worried and they've got it wrong in the past the previous year was the year of the olympics and politicians trump and trumpeting great britain and how long and in britain is the best destination the world billions of pounds poured into advertising to really sell the u.k. but it seems that for immigrants potential immigrants from rumania and from bol garia the message is that britain isn't so great after all so a lot of people see that sort of as quite far cicle the fact that the government is willing to trash its own image and to admit that there are problems with the
11:13 am
economy in disarray that there's a housing crisis and that there are problems with schools and hospitals everyone's been having a good old chuckle over the idea of a negative ad campaign and yes some people have actually said that it's quite insulting but remain ians and for vogue ariens but one newspaper has even suggested that people send in their own suggestions for what an anti britain poster would look like and the result has been really quite scathing and quite harsh to britain as a country we've got slogans that include u.k. yuck and come to britain and clean the toilets or even britain we haven't left ourselves because the public transport isn't running so people very sort of mocking at the same time but quite scathing about the country westminster is bound by law so they have to follow these rules and they have to allow anybody who wishes to come over in twenty fourteen to enter the country but
11:14 am
a lot of citizens in the u.k. feel that it's insulting to those people and a waste of money having advertised britain previously. as britain is haunting all the downsides of living there remain yet has launched its own p.r. campaign beautiful middleton and cheap booze appear on the list of the main advantages of living that got a collection of the. hatred and racism in the israel football league takes a look at the jerusalem team making extreme right. now the u.s. expresses outrage over the terrible thing of the american embassy in turkey but critics say it's washington's practice of poking its nose into other country's affairs which provoked the attack on the.

in these areas have obviously inflamed. the insurgents to the point that they are now targeting these western powers however the united states and the british and the federal also supporting tens of thousands of jihadi extremists in syria and in other parts of the region so you have well armed well prepared trained terrorists on the border region we would turkey and syria probably now inside turkey so i think this is very bad news is obviously great opposition inside turkey and i think the the president other prime minister is behaving foolish to our actually have this close working relationship with the west and he's actually undermining his own country and his own security. jerusalem football team his fans are renowned for chanting racist anti arab slogans assigned to muslims for the first time supporters are openly disappointed at the move which some say is like

palestinian supporters now the match has just finished and as you see the bay tajiri some supporters are walking out behind me but it will be and not an hour and a half before the police give permission to the arab fans to leave the stadium but keeping the two sides apart does little to dispel the hatred in march last year hundreds of baitullah friends rampaged through jerusalem or after a game chanting death to the arabs and randomly attacking arab work has orders are born they try to say that there are just a few resources five to twenty people but that's not right racism is in the d.n.a. of the steam it's in their blood. referred to is a football legend in israel he was the first ever to play for israel national team and to represent the country at the olympic games. i remember playing against the steam their supporters cursed me because i am an arab muslim if this is not rhys's what is it that problem is about to get
